Standing Committees

The Board of Education’s bylaws allows the creation of standing committees composed of board members and non-board members, as the board deems appropriate and with functions, duties, rights, powers and authority as the board prescribes. The board president appoints all members to serve on standing committees.

Charter School Committee – reviews any proposed public charter school application that has been submitted by the applicant to the board and comments on the application’s feasibility, curriculum and financial soundness.

Committee on the Standards of Quality – makes recommendations to the full board on revising the Standards of Quality. Virginia's constitution requires the board to determine and prescribe standards of quality for the public schools of Virginia, subject to revision only by the General Assembly.
